Summary:
The Claremont Unified school district, serving roughly 5,620 students in the city of Claremont, California, operates 11 schools spanning grades K-12 and is generally a high-performing district ranked in the state's 74th percentile.
Academic performance varies across the district, with clear standout schools like Sycamore Elementary (ranking in the 95th percentile statewide) and the flagship Claremont High (93rd percentile), which boasts a 98.2% graduation rate. In comparison, Vista del Valle Elementary is the lowest-performing traditional elementary school, and San Antonio High (Continuation) serves at-risk students with much lower test scores but a high graduation rate for its population.
Key takeaways for parents include the district's overall strength in English and science compared to the state, though math scores show a smaller advantage. There is no clear link between per-student spending and performance, and chronic absenteeism is low district-wide but very high in specialized programs. The data shows that while Claremont Unified has several exceptional schools, there are noticeable performance gaps between them.
